This weekend, if you don’t have any plans…and even if you do, you must make time to check out Hermès Festival des Métiers exhibit at The Design Exchange! Running from October 2nd to October 6th, this interactive exhibition celebrates the exquisite work of the many artisans that create the perfect made-by-hand pieces, using the techniques passed from generation to generation. You will be able to see how the famous Hermès bags get made, watch the artisans paint ceramics and create scarf patterns; you will get a real behind-the-schenes glimpse at the world of Hermès – and the best part of all – it’s free! If you love fashion and appreciate fine craftsmanship, you must stop by to check out this fascinating exhibition.

Shoeaholics, rejoice! Coming to Toronto’s Design Exchange next year is the Christian Louboutin Exhibit! Expected to run from June 21 to September 15, 2013, the exhibit will most likely feature designs from Louboutin’s personal archives, showcasing handcrafted designs, and one-of-a-kind pieces, which will surely delight the die-hard fans of the designer.

“At the core of the exhibition will be a unique exploration of Louboutin’s design process, taking the visitor through every stage of the design journey, revealing how a shoe is constructed, from the initial drawing and first prototype through to production in the factory,” reports The Fashion Spot.

And while, I haven’t been too impressed with the most recent Louboutin designs, I am definitely excited about this exhibit! Are you going to check it out when it finally arrives in Toronto? Share in the comments!
